HA!  I *love* that movie -- and the book is abso-stinkin' hilarious!

On the actual topic, I've changed my mind.  I thought that using a 
unique extension to indicate that *our* .tar.bz2 file (.cyg) followed 
some special internal format (/etc/postinstall, <top>/CYGWIN-PATCHES/, 
etc) would be a good idea.

Then i realized that I've been using setup.exe (with a custom setup.ini) 
to install custom tarballs -- that don't follow that special format -- 
into my cygwin for months now.

Nope, keep it .tar.bz2, if you don't mind. :-)
